Joint Trainings

Quick Summary

A joint training is a custom training or other on-site training program which is hosted by a group of organizations rather than a single organization.

What are the benefits of a joint training?

Cost: The cost is split between the organizations so they are much more affordable.

Time: The time/energy required to setup the training can be shared by the partners.

Excitement: Joining with other organizations creates a fun, exciting atmosphere.

Peer Learning: Participants from different organizations can challenge one another.

Partnership: Build stronger partnerships with other organizations in your community.

What is the cost?

The cost depends on a variety of factors including the number of days/staff, travel expenses, etc. For example, a one day training led by two staff for five partner organizations would cost ~$1000/organization. Please contact us for a quote.

Can you give an example?

In the fall of 2014, four campuses in the Minneapolis area (Bethel Univ., Crown Univ., North Central Univ., Univ. of Northwestern St. Paul) partnered together to host a day of training for their student leaders. Here is what two leaders shared about their experience…

“By partnering with neighboring campuses, it helped ease the financial responsibility as we’re all trying to make our resources stretch. Renew’s time in the twin cities culminated with a joint training for student leaders from four campuses in the area. More than 200 students participated and it was both positive and impactful. One student said that it was the most positive conversation around diversity that she had ever experienced.”Leah Fulton, Associate Dean of Intercultural Student Programs & Services, Bethel Univ.

“ReNew Partnerships created a safe environment for our students to relate and discuss often-intimidating issues. I especially appreciated the variety in the content (Bible, personal stories, facts and figures, etc), as it connected with a diverse group of people.”

Greg Leeper, Dean of Students, North Central Univ.

We help leaders to build multi-ethnic
churches, colleges, and ministries.

A good place to start

We recommend that you start by watching our free, Four Essential Practices Video which covers foundational concepts. It is most effective if you can watch and discuss the content with other leaders in your organization.
